## **Language settings**

When your account is created, it will automatically be in the language set by the main account holder (usually a librarian or the person who took out the subscription). If you want to change the language, open the **Account management** menu in the top-right corner and click **Language settings**.

A menu will open that lets you choose your interface language, and also how you want us to display your [translated](/features/document-management/translation.md) documents.

## **Jurisdiction**

To change the jurisdiction settings on your account, go to **Manage your account** and change your country. This will customise certain aspects of your account, such as the first jurisdiction you see when you open the [**Browse**](https://app.gitbook.com/@vlex/s/vlex-documentation/~/drafts/-Mi_kBzjivnkN_5Ifd-x/v/master/how-to/reach-better-search-results-1/use-browse) menu and the news section.

If you want to change your default jurisdiction for searches, you can do this from the [top search bar](/getting-started/quick-start-guide.md#using-the-simple-search-bar) by selecting **Jurisdiction,** or if you're using the [Advanced search](/getting-started/quick-start-guide/advanced-search.md) page, select the jurisdiction you want and select **Apply and set as default**.
